NixOS-based distributions: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

NixOS has spawned a number of distributions and distribution-like projects throughout its existence. This page is intended to record details about notable Linux distributions related to nix and NixOS in some capacity whether they are forks, downstreams, starter configurations that yield a NixOS environment, independent OS projects merely built with nix, or some combination thereof.

Entries on this page are categorized by their relation to nix, their release status, and a brief description of what the project aims to do, or any other notable differences between it and NixOS.

When appropriate, entries are noted as having significant deviations from NixOS, such as having an alternate kernel, an alternate init system (PID 1), or whether some part of the nix project was forked in order to create it.
